ERNEST ROBERT -GODWARn OF. INVERCARGILL, NEW .ZEALAND` `Ec=.ci.-BEATE|=I l Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 12,1907. y

l Application filed December 22,1906. Serial No. 849,117.

Be it known that I, ERNEST ROBERT GOD- WA'RD, a citizen of the UnitedlStates, residing at Invercargill, New Zealand, have invented certain`new and useful Improvements in Egg-Beaters, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to egg-beaters and It has been my aim to provide avery simple means for insuring the position of the beater` when onceplaced and to render slipping and displacement practically impossibleand at the same time to secure free movement of the beater in everydirection. I have attained this e'nd by placin upon the vlower end ofthe beaterva flexib e disk or sup ort having an adherent quality and,pre erably, in the form of a suction-disk, so as to have no tendency todisplacement after it is once laced in position.

In the rawing I have shown the invention as applied to the form of anegg-beater disclosed in an a plication for. United States Letters Patentilped A 'ril 19,l 1906, Serial No. 312 ,548 but I do not imit myself tothe use of the device in connection with any particular form of beater,as it. is adapted for 7 use with any form of beater.

Figure 1 shows my invention applied to a speciic form of beater. showdetails.

In the accompanying drawing` I show a form of beater having a series ofloops operating in the same or opposite directions, ac'- 'cording to thecharacter of the gearing, and

attached tothe lower end by a universal joint is a rubber disk a. yThisis stationary in the rotation of the beaters; but itv has suchconnection as to be practicallyuniversal .in its movement, and it allowsa rockin movement of the beater within the vesse or receptacle lwithinAall reasonable limits. As the disk is dished or cup-shaped, pressureupon it will force 4out the air and give ita suction effect, adding toits adherent quality; It may, however, be an ordinary disk of rubber 4orof other yielding or flexible mate- Figs. 2,3, and 4' rial, theessential feature being ra yielding.
